<h1>Locking and unlocking controls</h1>
<p>A control can be locked so that is cannot be resized or moved. This 
 is useful when a document template contains an object that should not 
 be moved or resized inadvertently when multiple objects are selected at 
 the same time. </p>
<p>The following properties are affected when a control is locked:</p>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Height</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Left</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Top</p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Width</p></li>
</ul>
<h3>To lock a control</h3>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Add a control to the document, if it does not already 
 contain one. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the control.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties 
 and Formatting </B></span>option. The Properties and Formatting dialog box 
 opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>In the Layout section of the Properties and Formatting 
 dialog box, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Locked</B></span> 
 check box and then click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>. You 
 will be unable to move the control.</p></li>
